The lavishly decorated Wu-Tang album is going on a museum tour before being auctioned to the highest bidder. Wu-Tang says they already have a bid of $5 million.

That’s the problem: the people behind this Kickstarter campaign say they don’t want “some uber rich bastard” keeping the album in some private collection. So far, they’veraised just $15,829 with 26 days to go. They hope to raise $5 million.

Not exactly a proof of concept, but now a second fan Kickstarter has inexplicably launched. The new campaign is called “Open Wu-Tang” and has the exact same goal. One of the only differences is that “Open” wants to outdo the first campaign by raising $5.5 million.

The people behind “Open Wu-Tang” say: “the [first] attempt to crowd fund the disruptive Wu-Tang will unfortunately fall short“, so they’ve done the exact same thing over again…? To be fair, they have added a convincing video that says fans drove Wu-Tang to creative this auction by not paying for music:

“Open Wu-Tang” has raised $133.96 ($143 AUD) with 25 days to go.
